Toms Auto Repair

We received excellent care and quality work done on our van. While returning home from San Diego, we felt a wobble in our front tires. We called Tom’s auto repair and got him on the phone. He helped us to understand the severity of our vans condition. He diagnosed Friday evening what needed to be done. He even gave us a ride to a hotel nearby! Tom worked all day Saturday to get us back on the road. Highly recommend this auto repair shop!!

Tom is a hero in his hometown. The people know him and trust him because he is thorough and will tell you exactly his thought process. I had a great experience he was very kind works 7 days a week, may God continue to bless this man.

Tom met me at 10pm when my van was towed in to his shop!!!

Not only that, but his service was incredible.

He explained each step to be taken, ran a diagnostic and showed me the evidence of the problem.

My radiator had to be replaced. I trust Tom and his apprentice completely.

My husband was greatly relieved when I was safely on the road, again.

Much thanks to Tom.

100% confidence in him!

God bless.

Highly recommended!! Tom and his assistant helped get me the piece I needed and repaired it in an afternoon while my car belt started chirping along the freeway. Nice dude, honest, price was very fair and reasonable. Helped me get to where I need to go during the holidays. Thank-you again!

Tom helped diagnose our transmission issue and drove us over an hour to get a rental car on a holiday weekend. He gave us direct, honest advice and was very fair and upfront with pricing. Thank you Tom for all your help to get us to our family when we had car trouble halfway into our trip!

Tom saved us! Battery light came on during a long haul trip on the 5. They were open on a holiday, smart, fast and efficient! Definitely a place to trust your car with!

We got stranded with a flat tire mid way from LA to SF and needed to replace all 4 tires and make it there by 8 pm. We explored our options and after calling a few places in the area the decision was clear. Tom called us back multiple times, went and got the exact tires we needed, changed and balanced all 4 tires in an hour. Aside from being a great and very fast mechanic he was very polite and assuring. He really saved us!
I would highly recommend Toms Auto Repair to anyone who is looking for help from a great mechanic and wants to support a small business! Thank you Tom!

Check engine light came on while driving from LA to Oregon. Tom diagnosed the problem in about five minutes, fixed it, and was overall very friendly and knowledgeable. All while charging a fair price. Highly recommend!

Top of the line professionalism and all around good folks, we broke down on the way up to Oregon and these folks got us back up and running quickly and affordably. They drove out to our hotel and picked up the car and took care of everything with consistent updates as to the issue at hand and the plans moving forward. 10/10

Thomas is a lifesaver! Driving back from San Francisco to Phoenix, we started feeling our car vibrate. We searched for a tire/repair shop and this one showed up. It turned out whoever installed our tires over inflated them to dangerous levels and they were irreparably damaged. He got us fixed up with new tires, and back on the road (safely) in under an hour (and technically after closing time). He even called about an hour later to check in and make sure everything was running smoothly. This kind of service is what sets you apart in the industry.

Tom is literally the nicest mechanic you could ever ask for :) He made me feel better about the most stressful and stupid mistake I’ve ever made and repaired my car in half the estimated time. He was kind enough to make sure everything went okay at the gas station after the service on my engine and texted to make sure we finished our trip okay. I couldn’t recommend Tom and his team any more! They stayed late for us to fix my car starting at 9pm on a Wednesday which is very rare for the area and he gave us recommendations of where to eat on the street. Best experience I’ve ever had with an auto repair shop, hands down! There is a fun “dollar store” across the street if you need to kill time plus some good Mexican restaurants.

I have never done a review before but Tom was honestly so amazing that I had to. Last week my front wheel had a blow out car near Kettleman at midnight while I was making it down to SoCal. The car I have does not have a spare and it has a relatively hard to find tire. I called Tom and he was wonderful. At 1 am he searched to see if he had the tire and helped find a solution. He was very communicative and explained his reasoning for the steps he took to help me. In the end he had me back on the road and even after everything was completed he called to make sure I was okay. If I could give more than five stars I truly would.

Tom helped my family and I get back on the road when my alternator went bad! We were 2 hours in our 11 hour drive when our car had issues in the middle of no where. We got towed there by Garcia Towing (also great guy!) and Tom was honest, friendly, professional and reasonably priced. So thankful!

My partner's VW Jetta check engine (EPC) light suddenly came on while we were halfway through a drive from LA to the Bay Area last Saturday. Tom was the nearest mechanic to us off I-5 so we rerouted to his shop. He helped us immediately and we were back on the road in 25 mins! Tom also gave us a lot of pointers based on the Jetta's mileage. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service! Completely honest, explained the issue very well, and gave me multiple options. My car was fixed super fast as well!

This was by far the best customer experience of my girlfriend or my life. We broke down in the middle of nowhere and the insurance company couldn't get anyone to get a tow truck to us. We called Tom's and they called around for us (this was like 12AM) to people they knew in the area and found someone. They looked at it in the middle of the night and there were several huge problems e.g. oil completely covering the bottom of the car etc. so they drove us to a hotel (there are no Ubers there), and worked on the car and got it turned around in a couple of days on the weekend, despite a ton of work needing to be done.

Tom was super up-front about every cost, always gave options, and took pictures and videos of everything to show us and document what was going on. It turned out that our existing garage had screwed something major up and he was able to explain that to us through videos so that we could get our money back when we got back home (we were able to get our money back only because of the proof from these videos).

Besides all of that, Tom may be the nicest person I've ever met. Super straightforward, kind, and considerate person. We will genuinely never forget this experience. It could have been the worst kind of disaster and ended up somehow being great. Can't recommend enough!

Tom is simply, THE BEST 👍 ❤ 😃
(We are, what we do, when it counts...and, when I needed an auto mechanic to help me, HE DID)

I was on a cross country moving trip when I received a flashing engine light and error code that made it clear I couldn't drive my car any further without risking serious damage. It was almost 5pm, in Huron, CA, in the middle of a long stretch of the 5 with not much around. I was certain I was going to be stranded, with my kids and all of our pets and nowhere to go.

I called Tom and he quickly diagnosed the most likely causes of the problem and set to getting parts delivered right away. He came out to me to confirm the issue as we waited for the tow truck, and after I was towed, he stayed open (past 9pm!) and got me back on the road that same night. Problems fixed, and Tom even texted the next morning to make sure I got home alright.

Super knowledgable, super friendly - just the best. Would for sure make have Tom as my regular mechanic if I wasn't nearly 200 miles away.

After 2 different tow companies (including Triple AAA) gave me the runaround and being left stranded on the 5 highway for 3 hours I called Tom's and the owner (Tom) got a tow truck to me in less than 30 mins and got my car to his shop. He was able to diagnose my car even though it was way past his shop's closing time and got me back on the road quickly and swiftly. I have never had such a good experience at an auto repair shop, Tom even lent me a ride when I couldn't find any Ubers/Lyfts. Such a nice & helpful guy.

I had a problem with my battery on a long road trip, thomas was able to fix it very fast and get me back on the road. He even watered my dying plant I had with me!
